LLM Hosting
Still time for J.D.s to sign up as LL.M. Hosts!
Each academic year J.D.s, may volunteer to be hosts for incoming LL.M. students. There is no expectation of a major time commitment from volunteers, who will simply serve as friendly resources throughout the academic year. A list of suggested activities, none of which are mandatory, include:
The Fall Host Welcome Social, Networking (JD Hosts receive Graduate Program Facebooks), Coffee Breaks, Study Groups, Friendship (including invitation to additional Graduate Program-sponsored Host events), Boston Excursions.
You should have already seen flyers (with host questionnaires) in your Hark boxes. Forms are also available electronically, upon request from Curtis Morrow ( cmorrow@law.harvard.edu) or in the Graduate Program office, LILC 203.
